Don´t know, if it is a bug or if this thread would better be placed under "Wishlist"
It isn´t possible to create a multiline Gadgettooltip with GadgetToolTip()
In the German Forum there is a thread about that and I thought it should be posted here
Here the link to this thread

I would like to see this, too. Best would be HTML tooltips, but linebreaks would be great, too.

I don't know what was in that original thread mentioned by Franky as that link jut gives a 404. However, I use code based in info supplied by RASHAD in this topic:
Increase display time of tooltip?. Although my query was about increasing the display time, the solution offered also supports multi-line tooltips. However, afaik it is not possible to specifically nominate where line breaks occur, but I find this solution to be ideal for my requirements, so hopefully this will be of use for you as well.
The code I have implemented is this:
Code: Select all
Procedure setToolTipControls()
Protected ttip
ttip = FindWindow_("tooltips_class32",0)
If ttip
SendMessage_(ttip,#TTM_SETMAXTIPWIDTH,0,500) ; maximum width set to 500 pixels
SendMessage_(ttip,#TTM_SETDELAYTIME,#TTDT_INITIAL,0) ; cause tooltip to be displayed immediately
SendMessage_(ttip,#TTM_SETDELAYTIME,#TTDT_AUTOPOP,30000) ; time (in ms) tooltip will remain visible
EndIf
EndProcedure

You could DIY. Use a border-less Window containing an Editor, Canvas or WebGadget.

Nice idea, I hadn't thought of that. Will give it a try.
Presumably I could use the same window for many 'Tooltips', by just changing the text and moving the window around.

...yes - another good thing is that you can have images/illustrations in your DIY Tooltip, making the tip do more for your User.
